A man in Los Angeles was arrested on Tuesday for illegally bringing Asian reptiles, including three king cobra snakes, into the United States. The snakes were hidden inside cans of potato chips. In March, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents found a package from Hong Kong that contained the three snakes as well as three turtles. The agents thought there might be illegal drugs inside the potato chip cans. They were surprised to see something moving inside when they opened them. The snakes were about half a meter long.
